Makes sense for Pittsburgh to want to move on. Don't get this from Philly's perspective, though.

looks like the Steelers are all in on Russ, or if he fails tearing it down to the studs next year

With Mariotta gone they had no backup

Maybe they think they can turn around Pickett

Howie said when they drafted Hurts that they consider themselves a quarterback factory.

he didn't want to be behind or compete with a 35 y/o declining star, so now he is behind a young star with a huge contract, hopefully those tiny hands can grip a clipboard

Don’t get why Philly would do this. You could have used one of the 7ths to draft a better QB than Pickett.

But with hurts having been banged up this past season they wanted someone with game experience coming off the bench.

 

[GKJ]

Just something to consider when Zach Wilson got ripped for considering doing the same thing, but Pickett was refusing to dress as the QB3 at the end of last season.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Still think the Packers/Mahomes sitting for 1+ year plan is the right path for non-top 3 QB picks and yet so few teams do it...and the result is usually a bust.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

I'm not sure what's going through Pickett's mind. Based on what ground does he think he should be an undisputed starter?

They also all had someone good enough to be in front of them. You either have the talent, or you don’t.

On the surface it sure looks like he wasn’t up for the competition in camp this summer. I don’t know if he demanded a trade or not. This trade came from way out of left field.
As others have said I don’t get this from a Eagles perspective.

The Eagles better than anybody know how important it is to invest in your backup quarterback. Whether Pickett is the man for the job is the question.

Hurts got banged up. So they have to have someone with experience.

Wentz is still the most experienced guy out there. But don’t see him landing a starter role.
Plenty of teams were quick to get another QB once they lost one.
Sea gets Howell after Lock
Phi gets Pickett after MM
Indy gets Flacco after Minschew

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yeah, I really don’t get this from eagles point of view

It’s not much but dropping from 98 to 120 is not insignificant either.

 

[Karterthadon]

Boy, Pickett's ego sure as hell exceeds his footballing abilities.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Bye bye Kenneth.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If I was Pickett I would have stayed in Pit and "Good Soldier" because if Wilson struggles fans will be all over him and chance to get back in there would be greater than any potential action in Philly

We shall see maybe it works out for Pickett in end but seems far less likely than if he had stayed in Pittsburgh another year

 

[Reality Check]

I was all ready to blame Pittsburgh for ditching Pickett so soon.

But this was apparently a reoccurring thing

 

[EpochLink]

Never understood the hype drafting Pickett for Pittsburgh, the numerous 'comparisons' of Kenny Pickett to Dan Marino because both were raised in Pittsburgh and both went to the University of Pittsburgh. That should've stopped there, Marino is an all time talent while Pickett was just another guy.
